RS 40:1300.12
§1300.12. Permits
A. In parishes with a population of less than two hundred thousand the governing authority may, by ordinance, provide for the regulation and issuance of permits for mass meetings in the interest of public health and safety. Such ordinance may specify objective and reasonable standards which may be necessary to protect the public health or safety including requirements that the permit be conditioned on the applicant furnishing a bond of an amount up to one hundred thousand dollars issued by a surety company authorized to transact business in the State of Louisiana to guarantee full compliance with the ordinance under which the permit was issued as well as the other laws of this state.
The bond shall also cover expenses of the cleanup of the site as well as all damages sustained by the governing body issuing the permit and all damages sustained by any person as a result of the activity of the mass gathering. In lieu of a surety bond, if required by the ordinance of the governing authority, the person holding or promoting the mass gathering may deposit with the governing authority of the parish a cash deposit in a like amount. Applications for permits which meet the standards specified in the ordinance and who have posted bond in accordance therewith shall be granted.
The reason for the refusal of any such permit shall be conveyed in writing to the applicant by the issuing authority.
B. Such ordinance may be adopted by the governing authority immediately and without delay.
C. The provisions of this bill shall not apply or affect incorporated municipalities or their right to grant or refuse such permits as may be permitted by other laws of this state.
